Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check DunkAPI every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Use for betting lines: each sportsbook's moneyline, spread and total for a game (opening and closing per book from July 2020 from The Odds API, and from 2023-24 from ESPN; ESPN's final line only before that), with implied probabilities and, for finished games, whether the home side covered and the total went over against the median close.

Use for a shot profile: attempts, makes, percentage, points per shot and expected points per shot in each zone (restricted area, paint, midrange, corner three, above-the-break three, free throws) for a player, a team, a team's opponents or one game. include_shots adds every located shot's x/y and result for drawing a chart. Costs 10 credits.

DunkAPI — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can DunkAPI do?
It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_game, get_injuries, get_leaders, get_line_movement, get_odds, get_player and 12 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is DunkAPI working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 17 of 17 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 251 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect DunkAPI?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does DunkAPI need an API key?
No. DunkAPI completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is DunkAPI?
It answers our handshake in 251 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is DunkAPI open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
